W...T...F? They "compromised"? How? That is a beyond delusional interpretation of what happened.
Here's what actually happened:
They developers showed their renderings which only keeps a stub of the 1947 building remaining.
The community is concerned and reaches out.
The developers come to the RAA and DVC meetings to talk, and set up a tour of the building on April 11th. They tell the community even though they've pulled a demo permit, no action is imminent and they'll talk w/ the community again on April 18th about a plan going forward.
Today they begin to demolish the majority of the building, per their original plans.
-----------------------------------
Which part of that is a 'compromise'? They're just doing what they've planned to do from the start. They said they'd make a 'good faith effort' to work with the community. The community was open to an actual compromise that would let some of the building go and preserve some too, all while getting the developer their GPLET.
Now the developer has lied and is just demolishing it before the meeting that they fucking proposed with the community.
